Posts Tagged ‘ANTS!!!’

On Friday I was feeling rather down about the future and wrote a post that showed this pessimistic outlook. Saturday I checked in on everyone and was amazed at how many of you were encouraging me to not get discouraged and to stop calling myself names. In my life only my husband has ever been there to encourage me and to provide a sounding board when I’m being hard on myself (my parents are classic pessimists). I was shocked to see 6 posts waiting for me with encouragement. It felt like you guys were trying to talk me down from a ledge. That an was amazing! Thanks everyone.

Over the weekend I got some sleep and was able to put things into a better light. Life always does what is best for me so if I get pregnant next year we will work out our budget. I am planning ahead so we will have money even if I’m out on maternity with a smaller income until the hubby’s raise rolls around. I still think that colleges are black holes that will suck you in but I am almost finished so life overall will be easier in our house. Other improvements this weekend included eating more veggies and less fried food as well as exercising and getting a massage to calm me down.

My goals for this week are exercising 45min at least 3 days, going to bed by 10:30, and buying a little dress charm to wear for the next year to remind me of my goals when the calories call to me (and not getting sick from hubby).

Good luck everyone and keep posting.
